I'm Going to Kill It!
As she watched the other person repair their arm, Maria took a small step forward, her voice cool and restrained.
She harbored far more killing intent towards the Blood Demon than she did towards any other orc.
"..."
Dukale remained silent.
He slowly stood up from the ground, clutching his arm, his eyes cold.
Maria's power exceeded his imagination... In fact, he still couldn't understand how Maria resisted his Originium Arts.
But none of that matters now.
The important thing is that Maria made him suffer such a terrible fate in front of so many people.
In the past, he ruled his territory and the other Blood Demon with absolute terror.
His most terrifying quality lies in the fact that he faces everyone else with an almost overwhelming force.
No one ever saw him struggle, and no one ever saw him fail.
The accumulation of victories fostered a strong sense of invincibility... No one could imagine what would happen if he were to suffer a defeat.
But today, Maria shattered the terrifying aura surrounding him.
Of course, this does not mean he will lose his identity as the Blood Demon Lord.
However, the fear he created was no longer as terrifying as it used to be.
Anger filled his mind, and his eyes grew increasingly cold.
And it was at this moment that the Banshees' party finally appeared.
They came over and, seeing that Maria was safe and sound, breathed a sigh of relief. They bowed to her and then, following her gaze, looked at Dukale in front of them.
They didn't know what had happened, nor did they understand why Dukale looked so disheveled.
But they knew that at this moment, their queen was the face of the Banshees, and no matter what she did, the Banshees had to support her unconditionally.
So they quickly gathered together and stood behind Maria, supporting her.
As the Banshees gradually gathered, Dukale's brow furrowed slightly.
He realized that Maria's identity might not be so simple.
Although the entire Banshee Court is currently in turmoil and chaos, the Banshees Queen is still there, and all the Banshees will obey her commands.
Even if Dukale looked down on other races, he had to admit that the Banshees, who were also from the Royal Court, were not weak in combat.
The Blood Demon's side lacked the ability to counter its unique Originium Arts.
Moreover, the Banshees have been tasked with bidding farewell to the Sarkaz souls since ancient times, and their unique status means that even he cannot command others to refuse them.
Therefore, he did not want to engage in a direct war with the Banshee Court.
After glancing at Maria a few more times, Dukale took a deep breath.
He didn't say anything more, but simply turned around and silently left.
He chose to concede defeat!
For a moment, everyone was in disbelief at what was happening before their eyes.
Even Theresa, standing to the side, stared at Maria with a look of astonishment and disbelief.
"Mama..."
She was just about to step forward and ask a few questions when the Banshees beside her hurriedly spoke up.
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness?!"
The Banshees' voices were so distinctive that almost everyone clearly heard Maria Banshees.
For a moment, everyone stood there, stunned.
Even Theresa, her outstretched hand frozen in shock as she stared at the woman before her...
Although their brief interaction had already made her realize Maria's extraordinary qualities.
But she truly hadn't expected that Maria was actually the queen of the Banshees?!
According to Sarkaz Law, the Queen possesses the same rights as the Lord of the Royal Court.
In other words...
Maria was also a lord of Royal Court?!
For a moment, Theresa felt that Maria was somewhat distant.
But Maria didn't think that much about it.
She simply turned her head and looked at the Banshees with some curiosity.
"What's wrong?"
"My lord hopes you can return soon..."
The Banshees maintained a very restrained and cautious demeanor, their calm demeanor making it unclear what Lamaline's purpose was in seeking out Maria at this time.
However, Maria did indeed have the idea of going back.
After nodding slightly, she looked at Theresa beside her.
"In that case, I'll be going now..."
"Um."
For some reason, Theresa felt somewhat disappointed.
But she still managed a smile and gave Maria a slight bow and nod.
"I hope we'll have the chance to meet again..."
"Yes, girl."
Maria nodded, then turned and left with the Banshees.
Meanwhile, Theresis, who had returned to stand beside Theresa, looked at her sister with a lingering, puzzled gaze.
Maria did not spend much time before returning to the Banshees' temporary camp.
In the room specially prepared for the Banshees Queen, Lamaline had already finished her bath and was waiting for Maria.
Upon seeing Maria return, she immediately stood up to greet her.
"Step down."
She spoke to the Banshees beside her.
Meanwhile, the Banshees obediently chose to leave, leaving the place to their lord and queen.
"What's wrong?"
Maria returned to the room and sat down next to Lamaline.
Her attitude remained unchanged... Although their current status is somewhat delicate, their relationship is more than just a cooperative one.
Even outside of collaboration, the two can still be friends.
But clearly, Lamaline's thoughts were not so simple.
After sitting down next to Maria, she awkwardly shifted to the side a little before speaking.
"The time for the Royal Court Conference has been set."
"Um?"
Hearing the other person speak, Maria also became serious.
When was it?
"In three days."
Seeing Maria's serious expression, Lamaline felt a pang of unease.
She knew that Maria was still her queen only because Maria had some need of her.
But seeing Maria's unwavering demeanor, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Three days later, the other Royal Court will have almost all arrived, with only a few possibly still on their way, but that doesn't matter... The situation of the Allied Forces now allows us no further delay."
Although Lamaline felt regretful, she did not forget the important matter at hand.
After meeting with the Banshees stationed in the Royal Court today, she realized that the problems weren't limited to the Banshee Capital.
In fact, signs of collapse had already appeared on several other fronts, with the southwestern front even collapsing completely.
This made her realize that things were getting increasingly serious.
"Even after the Allied Forces slew the Demon King this time, they still did not choose to withdraw... This unusual behavior has already attracted the attention of many people."
Lamaline spoke, a hint of worry crept into her eyes.
"Perhaps it won't be long before we officially begin war with the Allied Forces within the royal city, but..."
Lamaline didn't finish her sentence.
But Maria shook her head.
"You don't have much of a chance of winning..."
"... You found out?"
I saw it.
Maria shook her head.
Although she had only seen a corner of Kazdel so far, she could already imagine the situation of the whole Kazdel.
Even in the well-organized camp managed by Theresa, so many things can happen; one can only imagine how things are elsewhere.
Kazdel is now virtually incapable of mustering a force capable of confronting the Allied Forces... let alone dealing with Allied Forces high-speed warships.
Although there are also some strong individuals like Dukale who have terrible personalities.
But it's just hoping these people will give their lives for Kazdel.
That's a bit unrealistic.
Therefore, Maria believed that this city was likely to follow the same path as the Banshee Capital.
However, she didn't have much intention of taking action.
The fate of Kazdel is in the hands of the Sarkaz within Kazdel.
Her only concern now is whether Kazdel can gather the information she needs.
As things stand, the Blood Demon lineage is out of the question.
These guys made Maria uncomfortable just looking at them, let alone politely asking them for information.
And besides them...
Are there any other older races in the Sarkaz who might bring people with them?
Maria turned her head and asked a question.
Lamaline to the side, was also taken aback.
After hesitating for a moment, she nodded slightly.
"The Carrion Court might hold the person you're looking for..."
274
Chapter 274 I'm going to kill it!
Another night has passed.
Lamaline still didn't know what was going on. She and Maria had fallen asleep almost several people apart before going to sleep, but when she woke up, she found herself still lying in Maria's arms.
A pair of restless hands hooked around Maria's waist, and her head rested on that softness...
